Dos blogs a tener en cuenta y la reedición del primer Lp de The House of Love

Los dos, a juzgar por la temática tratada, los llevan gente de mi quinta. ¡Cuarentones al poder! Lo cual quiere decir que tienen querencia por el pop independiente de los 80. Fire escaping talking http://fireescapetalking.blogspot.com/ comenzó en Julio del 2006, aunque me acabo de enterar ahora de su existencia. En el último post, se habla de la reedición del primer lp de The House of Love:   The House Of Love have announced details of the re-issue of their seminal self-titled debut album on 3rd September 2007. The band are also set to perform the first album in its entirety when they play London’s Koko on 13th September as part of the Don’t Look Back series of gigs.

They are additionally set to re-release a compilation of early singles and rare tracks on September 3rd. This record, also self-titled, was initially released in 1988 as an import only through Rough Trade Europe and collected together the A & B sides of the bands first 2 singles, Real Animal and Shine On, plus some previously un-released tracks. The re-issue will also feature the A & B sides of the band’s seminal single, Destroy The Heart, which didn’t appear on the original album.

The band’s debut long player was first released on Creation Records in 1988 following their much-acclaimed single, Christine. The 10-track album, featuring classic tracks such as Hope, Man To Child & Love In A Car was quickly hailed as one of the definitive independent releases of the late 1980’s.

Long out of print, the re-issue will come lavishly packaged in a card gatefold sleeve featuring the definitive original artwork plus extensive new sleeve notes.

El segundo blog lo descubrí gracias a los links de Fire escaping talking. Se llama Dusty Sevens  http://dusty7s.blogspot.com/ y es de reciente aparición. Un badge de Josef K, un homenaje a Sombrero Records (¡Bob!) y una recuperación de una entrevista de Orange Juice al NME de 26-09-1981, hacen de este blog de obligada visita
